169 Sq. Ft. Tiny Cottage on Wheels

This cozy little cottage includes an awesome staircase with drawers and cubbies for plenty of storage. It features a stair rail and a railing in the loft bedroom for safety, and there’s room in the living area for an option twin bed. What do you think?

Unita THOW by Oregon Cottage Company

The Unita is the longest of our cottages at 24 feet. We started with the Ynez, redesigned the kitchen, lengthened the shed dormers, added a Tansu stair, and introduced a gable roof above a side entry. The eight-foot kitchen counter is flanked by an abundance of under-stair storage, as well as a full height refrigerator/freezer, oven compartment, and easy loft access.

You also have ample space at the aft end of the cottage for a twin or daybed for an additional sleeping or lounging area.

From the looks of the layout plan, it looks good and well built. Lots of head room in the loft and a gradual slope of the stairwell, which is easy to climb. Love all the storage spaces put in this TH. Two thumbs up!

It is most definitely a nicely finished THOW, but, for 24 feet and it ‘starts’ at $62K? I didn’t see even a small sink in the bathroom or on the plans and for that price (as much as I try to support the environment as much as I possibly can) I would want a regular toilet.
I like the practicality and design of the storage stairs, the hand rail, etc. I would like to see more pics, such as the living area and pics of the kitchen opposite to the storage stairs.

Hi Natalie, you can install a standard toilet with plumbing & RV style cleanout for $250 or less all day long in the Florida (no holding tank). So yeah, quite a bit cheaper than a commercial composting toilet. For versatility & eco friendly, I’d choose a composting toilet every time, even a home made one if price was a concern.

for becky-i have a friend who lives in a very tiny apt, and she has an electronic piano which takes up almost no room ! and it is beautiful as well 🙂 so-not to worry. you’ll find a way (maybe this lovely THOW is the way). also, for all. i lived in a trailer for 5 years. very comfortable, but certaintly NOT anything like this sweet place.

Well there would be a few changes to this home if I had one built. First I would put in a RV toilet. Next the hand rail on the other side of the stairs like a real house has . I would put the window in bathroom be hide the toilet. The access door for the utilities to be on the out side. where the window in bathroom I would put a small sink. Would love to see pictures of the living space. Plus a mini split unit.
